Suzumiya Haruhi's Melancholy 20th Anniversary Fair at Animate Akihabara

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the TV anime "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya," a special fair will be held at Animate Akihabara from January 23, 2027, to February 14, 2027. This fair is also taking place at 12 Animate stores nationwide and on Animate's online shop, but this article focuses on the Akihabara venue.

Fair Content: Get Exclusive Stickers

During the fair period, special benefits will be given based on the amount spent on "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" series merchandise. For general merchandise, customers will receive one "Sticker (7 types in total)" for every ¥1,100 (tax included) spent on purchases or pre-orders with a deposit. For books, audio, and visual products, one sticker will be given for each item purchased or pre-ordered with a deposit of ¥1,100 or more (tax included). These stickers are randomly distributed and cannot be chosen, and supplies are limited, so early visits are recommended.

Eligible Products and Purchasing

All merchandise related to "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" series is eligible for the fair. Examples listed on the event page include "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" Glitter Can Badge Collection (¥550 tax included) and Big Acrylic Stands featuring Kyon, Haruhi Suzumiya, Yuki Nagato, and Ryoko Asakura (¥4,400 tax included each). These items can be purchased at the Animate Akihabara store.

Important Notes

Reselling the特典 (benefits) through third-party transfers or auctions is prohibited. All amounts for fair eligibility are tax-included. Some items, such as online lotteries, capsule toy products, and certain TCGs, may be excluded from receiving fair benefits. Animate's online shop has different conditions, as it does not support pre-order deposits, and products released outside the fair period may not be eligible.
